Ahh... As far as I know the biggest problem in a family household with the washer dryer is you can't get enough loads through in a day to keep up with the amount of washing the family generates.
I've heard from washing machine engineers that the recent crop of washer dryers are all pretty hobbled by power consumption regulations but the old ones burn electric like it's not the 21st century.

Maybe use a dehumidifier with a specialised laundry setting. Meaco Zambezi is pretty decent or their compressor version (Zambezi is dessicant). You hang the washing in a room, set the dehumidifier to laundry and shut the door. Drying times vary of course and it's not going to make your towels hot and fluffy, at the same time it probably kills fewer polar bears.
